Milwaukee 4253-1 wiring help

[Jimmy Walker]

I bought one of these drills, have it installed on the second Z axis. Then I went to wire it up. OPPS! didn't see the 4 prong round AC plug.:eek::eek: I went back and triple checked the unit, it is a 120v unit, but with 4 wires. I am stumped.

Can someone tell me how to convert this to a regular 120v plug.

PLEASE.....

Umm...Milwaukee dealer. It makes no sense to hack it all up when they probably have the correct twist lock cord or leader for it.

Jimmy,
It looks like that drill plugs into a base that has speed control and direction switches built into it. That is why it has 4 wires. I am guessing that you don't have the base. I don't think this is designed for stand-alone use, only with the magnetic base. I made mine from a standard Milwaukee hole shooter drill(302-20).

I would look at the information given if you Google "Wiring a Universal Motor".

Thank you for your help. Everyone!:D:D

Google "Wiring a Universal Motor". Had the answer, but I had to series the field and armatue wires to get it right.

If anyone else has a problem with one of these PLEASE let me know, I will gladly forward pictures.
